What's the best bld tut?

[Crickets]

Title pretty much says it all. Ummm I have a really good memory just I don't like learning abunch of algs cause I think it's boring. And I hardly know any LL perms except like U's lol. So if theres a bld method that I don't have to learn alot for that'd be great.

Thx guys.

I used Joel Van Noort's page on classic pochmann when first learning.

You will have to learn the T and R perms and an edited Y perm. It will also help a lot to learn to the J perms but isn't entirely necessary. So that's 5 algorithms, which is not a lot. But these algorithms, unlike most other BLD algorithms will be useful in standard solves.

In Grintoth's tutorial on youtube you only use J and T perms (and 2-3 algs for flipping edges or rotating corners). It's not explained too well, but the algs are easy and I think the method isn't too hard to learn (I use it ).

i used the nerd paradise solution located at

http://www.nerdparadise.com/puzzles/333/

It only requires two algorithms...I thought it was pretty good at explaining everying but different memorization techniques. Has anyone else used it?

Many people recommend the methods described at cubefreak.net but I have been having trouble accessing that site. I think Macky forgot to keep his site active?

Anyway, there are shortcuts that can be applied to the methods at nerparadise.com. In particular, edges can be flipped as separate pairs, rather than toggling one edge while flipping the others. The same for corners -- you can do 3 corners ccw or 3 corners cw as a group. Or you can do one cw with one ccw as a group. But the oddest thing about nerdparadise is that "Classic Pochman" does not require pre-orienting pieces. If you can memo the orientations with the permutations (with 24 letters rather than 12 for edges), then you can use the T-perm (or Y-perm or J-perm or R-perm or N-perm) with setups to both move and orient pieces.

By the way, I still use the 3-cycle method for solving BLD.
